Problem Statement

The problem statement was: “How can we reduce the risk of earthquakes or

tsunamis by developing e-text book and implementing lesson study to enhance

the students’ awareness of the earthquakes and tsunamis?”

1. To increase the awareness of students on the danger of disasters in their daily lives.

2. To help and facilitate Indonesian students with the scientific and practical knowledge about disaster risks and related skills to reduce or minimize it.

3. To increase students’ beliefs on the importance of mathematics, science, and technology.

4. To increase the awareness of Indonesian students to predict and anticipate the earthquakes and tsunamis.

PURPOSES OF THE DEVELOPMENT

Phase Months Activities

1 Jan-April, 2012 Shared experiences and developed the tentative materials and planed of lesson study

2 May-Sep, 2012 Wrote the e-textbook3 October 2012 Tried Out and Revision

4 November 2012 Reflection and Wrote the Report

THE RESULTS

Two modules in pdf and d-book version

a. Module for Grade 6 Primary School Student: Data Processing

b. Module for Grade 10 Secondary School Student: Logarithm

Year 2013 Programs

The Questions:

1. How to Help Our Students to Learn Mathematics Meaningfully?

2. How to Help Our Students to Think?

3. How to Help Our Students to be an Independent Learner?

A New 2013 Curriculum in Indonesia

MoEC (2012A: 11): Requires a change in the process of learning from teacher-centered to

student-centered.

The change is in the nature of learning, from textbooks oriented to contextual teaching and learning (the textbooks which contain only the

subject matter to the textbooks which also contain learning materials, assessment systems and competencies expected).

Students should be facilitated to learn to decide things that are good and reasonable for themselves or become independent learners, students who are able to learn independently.

Students are expected to become Indonesian citizens who take responsibility and care on their nation.

The rationale of addition of hours in school (MoEC, 2012A: 11) stated that changes in the learning process should be from “the students were told by their teacher” to “the students find out by themselves.”

Subanar, Aggraeni, Iryanti, Shadiq, and Sukarman (2011:21) stated:

The three-step of lesson study: ‘Plan’, ‘Do’ and ‘See’ activities are very

important in enhancing the quality of any aspect of teaching and learning

process in the classroom.

Why Lesson Study?

Why Did ‘the Big FLOOD’ Happen in Jakarta in January 2013? How to

Overcome it?

Water can be our friend, but it can be dangerous

How to control it? Technology VS Nature?

than 30% of existing flood3. At Bogor, loss of function of absorbing up to

50 percent compared to the condition 15 years ago

Six Causes of the Great Flood in Jakarta

Technology VS Nature?

Build a Big Tunnel in Jakarta

• The diameter will be 16 m• The length will be 19 km• The cost will be IDR 16.4 T

Technology VS Nature?

How to Overcome?

Biopori is a small tunnel found underground in healthy soil and is created by tree roots and soil

organisms such as worms and termites.Therefore it can enhance the soil capacity,

preventing floods and droughts, reducing organic trash, and facilitating agriculture.

Every student has to participate in implementing the Biopori System in his/her school and home.

Government’s Programs (1)

Building 10,000 infiltration wells in JakartaInfiltration wells could reduce the flow of surface water that it can avoid the puddle of excess surface water flow which causes flooding.

Conducting “1,000,000,000 trees” program in Indonesia (One Billion Indonesian Trees for the World)It is an effort to establish society’s culture to plan and preserve trees. This program has been initiated by the Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia since 2010.

Government’s Programs (2) Building 50,000 Ponds in Jakarta

The ponds could reduce the flow of surface water that it can avoid the puddle of excess surface water flow which causes flooding. Its dimension is 5m5m2m for each

pond The cost is 500,000IDR 1,000,000 Each pond can catch 100m3 of water in

average Each pond can absorb 10 times of the

volume of the pond 500,000 ponds can absorb

500,000,000m3 of water = 1/3 of water that discharged into the sea

What Topics (1)? Measurement of rainfall

• How to facilitate students to learn by doing in measuring the intensity of rainfall?

• How to relate rainfall with flooding?• Rainfall data collection from BNPB (National

Disaster Management Agency) for various places in Indonesia)

Ratio, proportion, and direct variations in relation 

• Relationships between the number of trees and ground water

• Relationships between ground water, proportion of people and flood

• Ratio of population in Jakarta and other places in Indonesia from year to year

What Topics (2)?

Green open space • Related to the program of 30% open

space, why the minimum requirement of it is 30% of the total area.

• Measure the green space in school.

Building a Big Tunnel or 50,000 Ponds?

• How many m3 of water can be absorbed and will be discharged into the sea?

• What about the cost?
